    But you can't stop a man from cutting it all down!

    So I'm at the farm I've been clearing pasture at, and various other wooding acivities.
    They have 4 dead/dying trees, near road and powerlines. Ive knocked a few down out back, but yesterday I took a few pics.
    This tree absolutely shattered on impact. I got my equipment ready for the takedown yesterday, thinking I'd do it today. But I had a young energetic man who wanted to help, and see it come down.
    So we did.

    As an aside ive been cutting a bit here and there since I left home in January, cutting with and for others. Ive watched too many cringe-worthy fellings with bucket loaders and more.

    Yesterday's work....
